How to Disassemble the Mazda Atenza Key Step by Step?
2 Answers
First, locate the tail end of the key, then push the marked switch upwards. The hidden mechanical key will pop out slightly, allowing you to remove it. Still at the tail end of the key, use the mechanical key you just removed to press against the marked position. Apply gentle force, and the key casing will open. Once the key casing is removed, insert any tool into the gaps on both sides and gently pry to remove the old battery. Replace it with a new one.
When I last disassembled the Mazda6 key, I first located a small gap along the edge of the key, usually near the keyring area. Gently pry open the casing using a thin flathead screwdriver or a dedicated pry tool, being careful to apply light pressure and avoid forcing it to prevent breaking the clips. Once opened, you'll see the battery compartment. Remove the old CR2032 battery and ensure the new battery is inserted with the correct polarity. During reassembly, first place the battery properly, then press the casing firmly until you hear a click indicating it's secured. The whole process takes just a few minutes, with patience being key. If the key frequently runs out of power, it might indicate the battery's lifespan is ending – regular checks or keeping spare batteries are recommended. Never use strong adhesive to fix the casing, as it will make future disassembly much harder.
